During the presidential campaign, President-elect Donald Trump said he would work to repeal and replace Obamacare during his first days in office.
A new poll released by the Kaiser Family Foundation says not all Americans want the 2010 law to be done away with.
The poll, conducted one week after the election, shows that 30% of those polled want the law to be expanded, and other 19% want the law to move forward as is. 26% of Americans polled want the entire law repealed and 17% want the law to be scaled back.
While President-elect Trump and Republican members of Congress work on an Obamacare replacement, the Kaiser poll finds that many of the law’s major provisions continue to be quite popular, even across party lines.
The poll did find a notable exception. The requirement that a fine be imposed should someone not have health insurance, does not sit well with two-thirds of those who participated in the study.
